Summary

This article attempts to demonstrate that local regulations (within a European context), faster and with more impact than the global movement, do not make sense in the air-conditioning field. Technological progress is a dangerous concept. The economic and social impact would be negative and the direct positive impact on the environment would be insignificant. Hope lies in European policy not to change text 3093/94 with respect to sections applying to HCFC-22, a basic refrigerant in the air-conditioning field.
